We went on a wonderful trail ride- horses were well groomed, generally listened well. Kids 10 and…read moreabove could ride a horse on their own; using their helmets is mandatory for kids. Kids younger than 10 need to have a guide hold their horse the entire way, so each group can only have one kid less than age 10. They have big horses that can accommodate up to 240lbs. The one hr ride we went on took us around blueberry and raspberry fields, with really pretty views. For last 1/3 of ride it was through forest area and we got to go through a creek. Wildflowers were gorgeous and we even saw a bear! Around 11 am it was pretty hot and sunny- would recommend big shady hats and lots of sunscreen. Parts got pretty dusty so if sensitive, bring a balaclava. Not allowed to have anything around neck (not even a cross body purse) so consider a Fanny pack if you wanted to bring stuff with you, or a wristlet type attachment if you want to use your phone for photos during ride. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. We would go again in a heartbeat.

Located just down the street from Richmond Country Farms and just shy of Riverport Entertainment…read morecomplex, Blue Meadow is a lovely riding facility in south east Richmond. It's really easy to get to as the bus to Riverport stops right at Palmberg, and it's just a hop and skip down Steveston Hwy off Highway 99. Blue Meadow has both an outdoor arena and a covered arena (not a completely indoor arena, but sheltered) which is great for our wet climate. The area footing is excellent. It's not soggy and water-logged, which can be a problem in Richmond as we're so close to sea level. The farm is three acres--plenty of room for the horses to graze and run around--and is owned by a family who leases it to the barn manager Yolanda Bloomers. Yolanda has school horses available for lessons and there are also boarding facilities. Blue Meadow has certified Equine Canada instructors/trainers who coach numerous English riding disciplines including dressage and jumping. The Equine Canada certification was important for me when researching a riding instructor, and as I don't own my own horse (yet!?), I needed someone with school horses available. I've recently started taking lessons with Yolanda who came highly recommended from other barn friends. When I emailed Yolanda, she suggested I first come and observe a lesson, so I could see her teaching style. I really appreciated this! It was so great to see her interacting with a rider to see her style, her mannerisms, and her competency. I definitely wanted to take lessons! I've had a couple lessons with Yolanda already at Blue Meadows, and I *definitely* intend to keep going. The price for a private lesson with use of a school horse is fair--equestrian sports are expensive--and I also think it's great value. What I really love about Yolanda's teaching style is that she explains the "why" of things--when this particular exercise is useful, the benefit of lunging in both directions, or how to do this weird terminology thing. Instead of shouting at you from across the arena, she either uses a small microphone and fanny-pack speaker, or walks with you (not beside you, but comes down to the end of the arena you're working in). She also gives the rider ample notice, like a GPS in the car would say "in 500 metres, turn left". I really appreciate that Yolanda gives positive feedback with the constructive criticism. I've worked with a lot of kids, and I've also worked as an instructor (not horseback riding), so I know the benefits of the "compliment sandwich". Yolanda also explains why the horse might not be responding to what the rider is asking, listing a couple possible reasons and then saying what to try adjusting the next go around. I can't wait to continue lessons, despite my sore muscles the day after!

It's low-key and friendly here, a wonderful environment whether you're a human or an equine.

Zsa Zsa asked us to be there at 4PM for a 4.30PM ride, and didn't show up to the park until around 5.10PM - she had overbooked and there were two people there that had to be sent away (a family of four). They were debating and talking for about 15 minutes, after she was very late. She didn't acknowledge being late, apologize or anything. All we heard was her yelling at her young helpers because they weren't doing something right. After the whole debacle, we finally got on our horses and started our 4.30PM ride at 5.45PM. The horses had been riding since noon and had NO BREAK in between the rides. They were moving slow, and were tired. My friends horse buckled forward and was dragging his hooves, she was extremely scared and told Zsa Zsa she was going to get off the horse in case he was going to fall. Zsa Zsa didn't seem to care and kept riding forward. We felt our safety was at risk. Zsa Zsa's horse was out of control and it made for a horrible ride. We'd call out to her to ask her for help and she would just yell back and say we weren't doing something right. We got back to the park after 7PM. This was an hour ride that cost us half a day. We all had important plans and they got cancelled. She did not respect our time, our experience was not fun at all. There was nothing pleasant or tolerable about this ride. I will NEVER go there again and will recommend others to stay away as well. The horses were not treated well, and I will be reporting it to animal services.
